In my solo league, I had Jim Thome playing and playing well until he was 44. He almost broke the homerun record. While ARod and Vlad Guerrero only played until they were 39 before they started the rapid decline. I agree that something a little better should be done with the retirement issue. It seems like it's set up now that each player has a retirement age, and depending on what that age is, a year or two before that age, the player begins to deteriorate. Or maybe it's based on percentages. If a guy is 38, he has a 20% chance of beginning to deteriorate, 39 a 50% chance, 40 a 60% chance. which is it
